For nearly two decades, we have delivered expert trauma-informed care, legal protection, and advocacy to some of the most marginalised people in our society.

As we settle into our newly developed Trauma Centre in London, we are entering a critical moment in our journey, building on our many successes to date.

Our organisation has long been defined by ambition beyond its size, and your leadership will help us continue to deliver world-class support while making a lasting impact on the systems that shape survivors’ lives.

This role requires someone who can move seamlessly between strategic oversight and operational excellence, from representing our mission on national and international stages to inspiring our team of 75+ staff and 100+ volunteers.

We’re looking for two enthusiastic individuals to strengthen and grow our relationships with key Trusts and Foundations, spanning the UK and Liechtenstein. In this role, you’ll play a pivotal part in securing significant funding to support ActionAid’s pioneering work—supporting sustainable solutions that empower women and girls globally. You’ll manage your own portfolio of mid-level donors, coordinate high-impact mailings and events, and collaborate closely with senior team members on transformative, large-scale funding opportunities.

What you’ll be doing:

• Growing Partnerships: You’ll cultivate existing donor relationships at the £25k–£100k level while actively seeking new opportunities to raise around £200k–£250k per year. This includes designing engagement strategies, delivering strong stewardship, and creating tailored funding proposals.

• Making a Global Impact: You’ll play an integral role in driving attention and support for ActionAid’s humanitarian, development, and campaigning work in countries across Africa, Asia, and Latin America—advocating for the rights of women and girls at every turn.

• Innovating & Networking: Through proactive outreach, you’ll identify and nurture new trust relationships, showcasing your flair for persuasive communication, industry insights, and innovative thinking. You’ll also collaborate on donor visits and events that shine a spotlight on our life-changing programmes.

• Collaborative Teamwork: Our Trusts and Global Markets team is all about synergy. You’ll partner with the wider Funding, Philanthropy & Partnerships department—aligning with colleagues from Strategic Funding to communications teams—to share knowledge, align on strategies, and maximise new business prospects.

• Driving Excellence: Whether it’s crafting inspiring proposals, reporting on impact, or diligently maintaining records and donor data, you’ll ensure that every interaction with supporters reflects the values, credibility, and transformative potential that ActionAid embodies.

About you:

• You have a track record in high-value fundraising (ideally from Trusts/Foundations), with a proven history of securing significant gifts—£50k+—to meet ambitious targets.

• You’re naturally persuasive, with exceptional writing and presentation skills, adept at adapting tone and style for various donor audiences.

• You’re a relationship-builder, skilled at both nurturing existing networks and forging new connections. Experience collaborating with internal stakeholders to deliver on donor objectives is a plus.

• You bring fresh, creative approaches to fundraising campaigns—whether it’s crafting a compelling digital appeal, planning an unforgettable event, or designing bold engagement strategies.

• Most importantly, you’re passionate about ActionAid’s mission—embracing feminist principles, safeguarding standards, and our commitment to becoming an anti-racist, decolonised INGO.
